Strive Education

What Strive Education does

Strive Education (DBA Strive Math) is a Singapore-headquartered edtech company founded in 2019 that delivers 1-on-1 live online instruction in mathematics and coding to children aged 8-16, with cumulative reach of 1,000+ students and a teaching bench of 60+ trained educators. The company's core pedagogy is teaching K-12 math through code, anchored on a proprietary math teaching platform with collaborative worksheets, real-time teacher adaptation, and a Mastery Tracking Report Card that maps step-by-step student work to school curriculum outcomes and cognitive dimensions (memory, focus, grit, self-sufficiency). Curriculum is described as developed by a team from NUS and Stanford and draws on the C-STEM approach from UC Davis, with a reported 41% average grade improvement over 12 months for math students.

The product portfolio spans Strive Coding (a four-level curriculum from block-based concepts for ages 7-10 through university-level mastery), Strive Math (tutoring for grades 4-9), AI Coding (an advanced track using professional developer tools such as React, GitHub, Next.js, Vercel, and Stripe alongside AI coding assistants to build deployed full-stack applications), and Holiday Bootcamps (Math Confidence, Math Performance, Using AI to Code, Python App & Game Development, AI Web Development). Strive also hosts the open-source Trinket coding platform at trinket.strivemath.org after Trinket.io wound down, runs in-person Coding CCAs at Singapore international schools, and operates an internal PDF Generator tool for teachers built on ChatGPT via MCP Server.

Revenue is generated through monthly auto-renewing subscriptions (SGD 320/month for 4 hours or SGD 640/month for 8 hours of math tutoring), per-hour coding classes (SGD 65/hour with 10% off the first class), and one-time bootcamp purchases (SGD 640-680 for 8 sessions). Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via self-serve trial booking on strivemath.com, followed by a personal consultation step, supplemented by institutional CCA partnerships at Singapore international schools (UWCSEA, Singapore American School, Dover Court) and a KrisFlyer miles-based enrollment partnership with Singapore Airlines. The company has raised $1.3M in seed funding (Feb 2023) led by Y Combinator with Goodwater Capital, Soma Capital, and angel investors including the President of Mastercard Asia and the Founder of Sequoia India, and is backed by Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia recognition.
